Window Functions in SQLite 3.25.0. The next release of SQLite (apparently die for release in September) will add window functions, as specified in various SQL standards and already available in PostgreSQL. This is going to dramatically improve SQLite as an engine for performing analytical queries, especially across time series data. It’s also going to further emphasize the need for people to be able to upgrade their SQLite versions beyond those provided by the operating system—the default Ubuntu run by Travis CI still only ships with SQLite 3.8 for example.
